A 420 Celebration of Products by Tim Lawrence, AKA Inspector Dank, contributing writer
It is April, and spring has arrived, bringing with it the muchanticipated day for our industry. To kick off 420 celebrations, I selected a few top-tier products from Rove, a Southern California-based manufacturer whose name means“ to wander.” I also chose products from two lesser-known cannabis manufacturers, Tank and Headies, that have recently captured my attention. Let’ s prepare for 420.
Apple Fritter Ice Pack Pre-rolls 1g by ROVE The world’ s first triple-infused pre-roll that is sure to impress even the most discerning cannabis connoisseur. Apple Fritters gained recognition in 2016 when High Times declared it one of the“ World’ s Strongest Strains.” With that kind of natural potency, why on earth would anyone want a hash rosin coated, bubble hash, and diamonds infused pre-roll? Because it’ s the pinnacle of pre-roll awesomeness!
Rove’ s Apple Fritter-infused pre-roll is a perfectly balanced hybrid strain created by crossing Sour Apple and Animal Cookies. Upon opening the ice pack canister, I was immediately greeted by the enticing aroma of green apples and the unmistakable scent of high-quality cannabis. The coneshaped pre-roll was expertly packed and featured a paper tip for easy handling. Putting flame to the folded paper end of the pre-roll resulted in the hash liquefying into smoldering orange bubbles, creating a truly mesmerizing experience. With each pull, I was met with pops and clicks as the hash rosin and diamonds-infused flower burned evenly away. This resulted in the release of giant clouds of pure delight, and“ In Da Couch” took on a whole new meaning for me. In conclusion, the Apple Fritter Ice Pack Pre-roll is the pinnacle of pre-roll perfection. It’ s a truly exceptional product that is sure to impress even the most seasoned cannabis enthusiasts.
Northern Lights Live Resin Diamond Ready-To-Use Vape 1g by ROVE Northern Lights( NL) is an all-time classic cannabis hall-of-fame strain. Having smoked NL flower in the past, I decided to go a step further and dive into Rove’ s take on the NL strain. So how do you improve on a strain some say is one of the all-time greats? It’ s by pushing the envelope of premium cannabis and technology by combining 99 % pure THCa melted with live resin full-spectrum oil. The first hits from the Rove vaporizer served up a sweet and spicy citrus-pine herbal aroma on the front end, while the back end revealed more pungent and earthy notes. I highly recommend this product for evening use, as its Indica roots left me with couch-locked euphoria. Here are a few Rove quality of life fun facts: The vaporizer contains recyclable batteries and has a preheat function and adjustable heat settings. You will find a transparent sticker strain name that can be placed on the pod. Scan the product QR code to download the LucidID app and earn points that you can cash in to get cool Rove Swag.

Berry Bloomz. 5mg 510 thread Cart. Cannabis Oil by TANK TANK“ Never Run on Empty” specializes in creating terpene-forward cartridges, and the Berry Bloomz BDT Distillate Cartridge stands out with its unique blend of natural terpenes. This particular batch of carts tested very high in D9THC and a slight percentage of CBN. Upon my first pull, I was immediately struck by the flavorful experience of the cart and the high potency effects of THC that quickly followed. TANK should be a go-to brand for consumers looking for an affordable cart with a depth of terpene profile, taste, and strength. Upon entry into the Missouri marketplace, TANK has had a strong showing, placing 7th overall among Missouri’ s Top 10 Best- Selling Vape Pen Brands. TANK has two 510-thread vaporizer cart offerings in the form of botanically derived terpenes( BDT) and cannabis-derived terpenes( CDT), both crafted with highly potent, premium cannabis oil. Both lineups feature proprietary flavors and strain-specific blends that TANK claims you won’ t find anywhere else. The Berry Bloomz cart tested for an impressive terpene profile showcasing TANK’ s commitment to terpene quality and innovation. Terps included: B-caryophyllene, B-myrcene, D-limonene, humulene, A-pinene, B-pinene, A-bisabolol, nerolidol, linalool, delta-3-carene, terpinolene, camphene, geraniol, p-cymene, and eucalyptol. It’ s worth a 420 try.
